Fischer Concerto Build - Part 2 - Pictures

(Note: Part One with pictures is found in a separate thread: Steve Fischer Concerto - An October Surprise)

The Concerto is nearing it's final phase. It looks fabulous to me, with the only upgrades from what is included at no extra cost being the spalted maple purfling and real gold dot markers on the side of the neck. My goal is 'simply' elegant, and I do think Steve is capturing this look. I plan to pick it up in person upon completion, which should be a lot of fun. Steve is fantastic to work with. Here are the pictures he sent me....

Cheers,

Looking nice! Love the headstock inlay - that's creative.

Looks awesome when does it ship? Or do you get to pick it up?

I wonder if I will ever get tired of looking at build threads, certainly not yet and I agree Skateboarding is not a crime.

This is a mighty impressive looking guitar that Steve Fischer is building for you. It's a thing of beauty, and clearly, Steve has some serious woodworking chops. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I haven't heard of Steve Fischer until now; but this guitar really got my attention. I have a strong affinity for the design philosophy I see taking shape in this build.

Is Steve a member of this Forum yet? If not, I think you should suggest he get a username and PW, and tell us a little about himself and his guitars. I was curious, so I Googled a look at his website. It's definitely worth a visit. He puts a lot of passion and commitment into his guitars.
